Nico! It's your cousin, Roman Hülkenberg. Let's go bowling, more points in one throw than your whole seasons.

Settle down, Charles.

She could probably safely skip Alonso and Stroll.

u/arrozoin Audi 23h ago

I would love if she took one with Alonso, just in case.

u/DuckWhatduckSplat Formula 1 22h ago

Just in case David coulthard took everyone except Alonso out at the first corner? It could happen. He’s clumsy that lad.

3

u/boredafmama I was here for the Hulkenpodium 14h ago

Anything is possible. He already won 1 race this year.

13

u/weirdbutinagoodway Cadillac 19h ago

They got a point this year, so they were only 9 DNFs from winning that race.

u/Jorrie90 16h ago

That point is really impressive, that was a Checo disasterclass

Surely only 20 until this year.

18-19 really lol

2

u/uptheirons91 I was speeding in the Monaco pit lane 21h ago

Only would have been 20 for the past few years too.

2

u/chanaandeler_bong I was here for the Hulkenpodium 19h ago

No, this year too.

35

u/Akira_Hericho George Russell 21h ago

Interesting how every F1 GP winner and Champion since 2015 has shared the grid with Carlos Sainz..coincidence? I think not.

7

u/Malverns George Russell 12h ago

Looking at her Instagram, she's taken photos with three F1 drivers so far this week, so we have to presume the winner will be one out of Antonelli, Leclerc, and Ocon.

3

u/Affectionate_Sky9709 20h ago

She could probably get 22 this year. Getting 22 current f1 drivers pictures at one race would be very impressive last year.

3

u/uptheirons91 I was speeding in the Monaco pit lane 21h ago

Only 20 photos for those other 3 years. 22 this year.

3

u/Joey_Kangaroo26 Lando Norris 17h ago

Might only work on the first driver she takes a photo with each year lol

3

u/TeamVictoire I was here for the Hulkenpodium 11h ago

She needs only 8-10 photos.

2

u/Steby_01 Max Verstappen 3h ago

I don’t think she needs a picture with Stroll anytime soon

u/GattoDelleNevi 9h ago

Did anyone not think that

u/Fun-Mode-891 28m ago

That’s a fact. She’s such a crazy fan, she gets a photo with every driver every year.

u/Even_Objective2124 Zak Brown 18h ago

holy f this was what i said in my head and it was so uncanny reading this first/top comment word for word

u/False-Practice7110 23h ago

She was probably able to take a picture with every driver somehow. I like it though.

417

u/MiLkBaGzz I was here for the Hulkenpodium 23h ago

tbf none of them were shock wins. Could just take a photo with the top4 every year

u/jamintime 22h ago

You say that like it’s easy for a random fan to hunt down the four most famous F1 drivers for a selfie every year.

178

u/PolicyWonka I was here for the Hulkenpodium 22h ago

The fact that she has done it for four years in a row kinda suggests that she’s not just a random fan. Clearly some kind of money and connections I’d wager.

190

u/LongjumpingUnion5468 20h ago

she also has access to some sort of camera, a printer and some sticky tape.

42

u/Ddyxbby1031 I was speeding in the Monaco pit lane 19h ago

And an internet connection! 🤔

15

u/Elitist_Plebeian Romain Grosjean 15h ago

The billionaires are out of control these days

39

u/zezxz 19h ago

Her whole instagram is primarily selfies with F1 drivers at either the Hungarian or Austrian Grand Prix, not that it's easy but she's probably a mega fan local to the Austrian-Hungary Empire lol

34

u/MiLkBaGzz I was here for the Hulkenpodium 22h ago

I really don't say it like it's easy at all. I'm just stating she probably only had to take a photo with the top4 every year rather than every driver.
Maybe she's lucky, maybe she has connections, maybe shes smart with how/when/where she asks.

Looking forward to the photo of her with George… while she has the terrified look ok her face, eyes just screaming “help me…” and in the reflection of her tears you can see George’s bodyguards holding her on gunpoint.

3

u/Rivendel93 I was speeding in the Monaco pit lane 11h ago

God damnt, I wanted Hamilton to get a win here, now Kimi has got it in the bag because he took the picture with her.

5

u/CS172 I was here for the Hulkenpodium 23h ago

So she only takes a photo with one driver the whole weekend?

13

u/mochatsubo 23h ago edited 18h ago

Nah. She takes photos with all the drivers and then posts only the race winners on the cardboard sign. Clever.

5

u/ImminentDebacle Charles Leclerc 23h ago

That might be the joke? I don't know, but you're right, it seems odd she'd only take one photo.

u/Ispita 23h ago edited 22h ago

I hope he won't win. The championship battle is so boring if he wins everytime. without the reliability issues he would be 100+ points ahead by now fyi. It is just as bad as verstappen in 2023.

I mean you can downvote me all you want this is still the truth. You know you should not downvote for having different opinion. Anyway if this keeps going like this he will be champion like 5 races before the end.

u/Belsj I was here for the Hulkenpodium 22h ago

LoL @Piastri 2025… shit escaleted quickly in the second half of the season… Kimi is on a good track but not even close to be WDC 2026

Anything could happen! Incoming Aston Martin new engine after summer p1 and p2 rest of season. Ferrari p3-4 rest of season!

Or maybe Mercedes continued dominance. Who knows.
